C# Somebody broke me once, love was a currency F# A shimmering balance act, I think that I laughed at that A#m And I saw your face and hands, colored in sun and then F# I think I understand, will I understand? Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams, I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shave my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just say (“Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!”) Chorus: C# (I'm in love and you've got me, runaway) F# You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it A#m I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets F# Your hand forever's all I want, don't take the money don't take the money I slept on my own those nights Was still in my parents' house And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves And claim a new continent 'Til I saw your face and hands Covered in sun and then I think I understand Will I understand? Will we fight, stay up late? In my dreams, I'm to blame Different sides of the bed Roll your eyes, shake my head Now we're stuck in the storm We were born to ignore And all I got is a chance to just say (“Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!”) Chorus - x2 C# When you're looking at your shadow, F# standing on the edge of yourself A#m Praying on the darkness, just don't take the money F# Dreaming of an easy, waking up without weight now And you're looking at the heartless, C# just don't take the money Chorus: You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Well, don't take the money (“Baby, love me! You've got me, runaway!”) You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money Just don't take the money You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  F#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
